Annual Race Mileage

December 7, 2019

Since I’m done racing for the year, I thought I would go back and add up all the miles I raced this year. Considering the number of ultra I do each year (seven) and the number of those that are hundreds (three), the mileage adds up pretty quick. My 465 miles will end up being…

2019 Fast and Furriest 5K Race Report

November 29, 2019

Man, I hate racing 5Ks. It’s not the distance. I love running and 3 miles is typically when I start getting warmed up. But racing? That all out, ragged breath, heart in your throat type of running? Not my thing. But our family does Thanksgiving in Ocean City, NJ and like to run this race.…

Long Haul 100 Training

November 17, 2019

I was going to write “update” in the title of this post, but I don’t think I ever posted what I was going to do (or have been doing) so there isn’t anything to update. My training plans have morphed over the years from full blown day-by-day workouts to basically whatever I feel like doing.…

How I Do My Voodoo

November 2, 2019

I’ve always been a little hesitant to comment too much on my training or give out advice on this blog. While I was running long distances, I hadn’t been at it too long nor had I had any type of formal (or even informal) training. I mean, I’m just a guy. Sure I’ve read a…

Time To Get Fat And Happy

October 3, 2019

It might seem a little early, but I’ve decided to put on my winter weight and let myself go before the leaves are even off the trees. I’ve been training consistently for the past year and it’s time I finally took an extended break. I’ll still get out every day for a mile or so…

My 100 Miler Ranks: 2019 Edition

September 29, 2019

I started this ranking a couple years ago. No race is exactly the same and since everyone looks for something different when choosing races, I thought I would give you my ranks in various categories. I’ve completed two new races (MMT, Olde 96er) over the past year so they get added to the lists. I’m…

Olde 96er 100 Mile Preview

September 17, 2019

I’ve been excited to run this race since I first heard about it a year ago. The race is point-to-point on route 45 in Ohio from Wellsville to Walnut Beach Park on Lake Erie. It is also self-supported, which means I’m responsible carrying whatever I’m going to need with me while getting food and drinks…
